Now that the MFT Minimalist stock has been out a while what do you think of it?

I like mine well enough that i will be ordering 2 more for other rifles i have. Makes for a good lightweight build gun.

Friend of mine had one, and I didn't care for it. Poor cheek weld and it was WAY too tight. Like stupid tight.

I use it exclusively on all my rifles.  Super lightweight, NO wobble or rattle at all, price is great.  Whats not to like?  I don't care much for the look so I do add the 550 paracord to give it the standard stock look and it also could work as a sling in a pinch if mine fails.

I like stooped tight stocks, but being a lefty....its a no go.   Shirt pocket catcher.

I liked it so much on my 7.62x39 that I ditched the stock on my 5.56 and replaced it with another Minimalist. Neither of mine are too tight or too loose.

A friend has one on a rifle. I personally didn't really care for it. It was nice and snug on the extension though.

Exile seems to have pretty good pricing on them if someone is looking  LINK

This one isn't much heavier and is probably the best stock I have ever come across.

I've had one for 9 months or so, and I love it. Definitely getting another when I build an SBR(and maybe for my shotgun eventually).

It's definitely the tightest stock I've used, but it's not too tight.

I bought one to try it out.  I really like it. Light, stable, and way cheaper than most stocks that fit without wobble.

Will be keeping the old M4 stocks in case I sell an AR, but will be getting more.  I paid $39 for the black minimalist commercial model.


I would like to see one in O.D.

Exile...looks like black only at that price.

I'll stick with the ctr. Same Weight (8.8 oz), can be found for the same cost. Doesn't look like ass.

The MFT Minimalist stock is just under 6oz! How is your 8.8oz CTR stock the same weight?

My apologies.

The exile link you guys posted had it weighing 8oz. Sorry I didnt visit the mft site.

The thing still looks like ass in my opinion, It just looks broken, ill suck up 3 oz

I'm not a huge fan of the looks, which is why I opted for the p-cord cobra braid (shown above).  Cuts a little into that 3 oz (not sure how much), but does give you a piece of utility cord should you need it.
